[Korisfani]

As for the guard rotation, we just have too many guys now who are either unwilling or unable to play off the ball and/or space the floor.

If not counting Ochai, there are two guards. JC doesn't fit that bill either.

He's on a 10-day. He's not the future starting PG. If he's the future anything, it's a defensive specialist / spark and somewhat competent backup in case of injuries.

Trouble is, we have like four backup PG's now and no starters.

Do we? If you have no starter is it bad to have 4 backup pgs.

Sexton, THT, Dunn… is Frank #4?

Kris Dunn must have smashed this dude's mom.

Hey, we'll see how long the honeymoon lasts (I'm supposing they'll keep Dunn for a longer haul). Don't worry, I'll eat my crow if it comes to that.

I loved the few shot fake drives he did. Good job reading the defender and lane.

He seems very smart and decisive with the ball. Hope he gets more responsibility offensively going forward. Would love less clarkson usage and more ochai usage.

You have a really strange dislike of Dunn. We are talking about a minimum contract guy who is an elite defensive caliber player. On a 15 man roster there is room for a guy like that.

Dunn is the new vando for him it seems

Dunn is an actual good defender though.

Not a surprise to me. I corrected someone who called Dunn an elite defender. He's anything but.

You didn't correct **** because I strongly disagree with you. Dunn is absolutely an elite defender. What got him out of the league is his minor injuries and Boylan destroyed his confidence offensively. If he can build that confidence back then he can be a productive bench player.

This is the LAST time I'll comment on this... (yes, I'm lying)

He's good at bothering ballhandlers. But like most steal hunters, he can't stop himself from reaching if shown the ball. Smart ballhandlers will read him like an open book and blow past him the second he does it. We already saw some of that in these two games.

Other than that, he's prone to ballwatching and getting burned on backdoor cuts. Both typical flaws for guys whose whole game is built on either being on ball or trying to get their hands on it.

Fine

And vando was a pretty elite rebounder who he said only gets easy rebounds. He just seems to really disloke a dude once he decides he dislikes them to the point he cant see the good that everyone else can see

No, rebounding was actually BY FAR Vando's best skill. Particularly offensive rebounding. That's not saying much though. He may still be out of the league in four years.
